How to Improve an Amazon Product Listing That Isn't Selling?
A seller's checklist for listings that get views but not sales, or no views at all.

Summary
To improve an Amazon product listing, start with the main image and title, since they decide whether shoppers click, then tighten your bullet points around benefits and add missing search terms and product details. Brand-registered sellers can also add A+ content to the description area.
Images
Use a clean main image on a white background, plus lifestyle and detail shots. Check Amazon's image requirements in Seller Central.
Title
Lead with the brand and the product type, then the key attributes shoppers search for. Avoid promotional claims.
Bullets and description
Lead each bullet with a benefit, backed by a concrete detail.
Search terms
Add relevant terms you could not fit in visible text to the backend search-terms field.
A+ content
Brand-registered sellers can add rich images and comparison charts.
Compliance
Listings with missing required attributes or restricted claims can be suppressed. Review Amazon's policies for your category.
